Feyrouz Abou Hassan

Feyrouz Abou Hassan graduated from the Lebanese American University with a BA in communication arts, and an emphasis in theater. She worked on various plays covering all the fields of acting, stage managing, assistant directing, and directing. Currently, she is working as an assistant director in the play "Anbara" written and directed by Aliya Khalidi. In 2015, she directed the play "Darkside" based on the album of Darkside of the moon by Pink Floyd, written by Sir Tom Stoppard, where she has found herself creating a new edge to the theatre world, by stepping away from the traditional theatre and adding her own touch to the stage. Feyrouz's plays do not only rely on acting. The show is built around one main idea that is supported and highlighted through different kinds of art on stage. This year, Feyrouz has written and directed a play that takes us back to the basic points people need to get in contact with their soul: passion, love and care. "Mind and soul" sheds the light on the inner quarrel between greed, power and money vs. passion, love and care with the use of no words, but pure visual and emotional scenes to let each and everyone of the audience go through their own journey, driven by their own mind and soul.
Throughout her years of university and onwards, Feyrouz started taking part in volunteer work to give back to the society in every possible way, and realized that there are many on the same path, yet many who do not see the benefit of it. That's where the initiation began and "Mind and Soul" found the light of day.
As a team, we would like to thank you for taking the time to go through the details, and hope that this would be of interest for you not only to help funding, but also to come and watch the play at the Garten in Biel as off mid July, and give us your much valued feedback :)
